I can't believe that he lived to tell the tale. Castaldo's story of struggle and triumph should be a movie. I never thought a memoir could be a page turner, but this story makes you want to read more after every chapter. For those who have struggled in life with addiction and bad breaks, Castaldo's story will give you hope. Hope that things can change. Hope that there is a better tomorrow

Found the first book in the trilogy to be the best.

This is just an incredibly written book. The first Philip Roth novel I read was "American Pastoral," and I remember thinking as I read it that I was consciously aware of how beautiful the writing was. Not the subject matter or anything, but the simple arrangement, placement, sequence, and flow of the words on the page. I cannot remember a book before I read "American Pastoral" that so swept me away with the language and dexterity of prose, simultaneously gripped by reading and yet with a part of my brain standing apart, aware even in the moment of how much I was encompassed by the writing. It's an odd sensation, and one I'm sure I'm not describing at all well. Regardless, and unsurprisingly, I had the same experience reading "The Human Stain." The writing is just flatly phenomenal: gorgeous passages of imaginative inner monologue, powerfully thought-provoking set pieces, amazingly lengthy and convoluted sentences that read as fluidly as anything in a children’s book. It was really a continuing surprise and a joy to read this book. The subject matter itself is incredibly depressing, yet interesting and extremely thought-provoking at the same time. There’s virtually no plot to summarize, “The Human Stain” is just a fabulous, angry, complex meditation on identity, the state of America, the changing of times, the passing of generations, race and racism, death and dying, judgement, human fallibility, the nature of truth, the nature of thought and knowledge, the possibilities of writing itself, and who knows how much more! Surely an infinite amount more, on the conservative side. I can’t recommend “The Human Stain” and “American Pastoral” more. Beautiful books, both.

First sentence: The black death didn’t get to Alaska until November. Old Sam, a tribal leader and surrogate father to PI Kate Shugak, has died. He has made Kate his executor and primary heir but some of his bequests come as a surprise. Kate hadn’t known how much land Sam owned, including a homestead within gold-mining country. Then there’s the letter simply saying, “Find my father,” and how does this tie to a missing Russian icon which was a tribal artifact? Kate doesn’t know but something thinks she does as they keep trying to kill her. In the meantime, Kate’s lover, Sgt. Jim Chopak, has been summoned home for his father’s funeral. The relationship between him and his mother has always been chilly, but never more so than now that his father bequeathed Jim his locked writing box in which he finds a photograph of his mother and someone Jim has never before seen. It is nice to see Ms. Stabenow returning to a more serious style. Not that her trademark humor is not longer apparent—it is—but this story is more layered, complex and a bit more serious than previous, recent entries. Maps are a useful and wonderful way to provide the reader with a sense of location and perspective; I’m glad they are there. Complimenting them is an incredible ability to create a sense of places and people through Ms. Stabenow’s vivid descriptions. “..Kate almost stumbled over a pair of porcelain dogs guarding a high, round, spindle-legged table covered with china figurines dressed like characters out of the Angelique novels.” Okay, I’ll admit being partial to that particular description as I loved the “Angelique” books. The scene of Kate’s wolf/dog Mutt interacting with wild wolves against the snow under a full moon becomes one you are not reading, but seeing. Characters come to life as well: “Judge Singh…had such immense dignity that she always seemed to be attired in her robes…” “At the desk sat Jane Silver, who looked like she out to be hunched over a steaming cauldron chatting in chorus with the other two weird sisters.” The people and relationships are real, including Kate’s relationship with Mutt, which adds, funny, touching and fearful moments to the story. The inclusion of a surprising and unexpected character only adds to the story. The story itself is very good and very much about relationships. They really are the point from which the various lines of the story evolve. It’s not a perfect story. At times, it felt as if there was one thread too many and it bogged down. I found myself wanted to skip portions, although I didn’t, but it did feel overly long; too many scenes with Mutt, not enough “mystery” or flow to the story as I’d have hoped. Perhaps it’s just a case of my expecting more from an author who is so good. Don’t misunderstand; I enjoyed the book very much for its characters, humor, sense of people and place, and tense scenes of strength and determination to survive. Although the plot could have been a little tighter, I’ll be right there read to buy the next book in the Shugak series. THOUGH NOT DEAD (Lic Inv/Kate Shugak-Alaska-Cont) – G+ Stabenow, Dana – 18th in series Minotaur Books, ©2011, US Hardcover – ISBN: 9780312559113

I'll steal the last bit of Goodreads reviewer Hallie's comment on one of the painful and embarrassing sex scenes in this book: "Afterwards our hero has the witlessness to add to the injury by calling this essentially masturbatory act “love-making”. In fact, this pretty much sums up my response to the whole book." This book did to Turkey what The Kite Runner did to Afghanistan, only at much greater length and with superlative tedium. NEXT.

Arcadia Bell is back just a short time after the events of KINDLING THE MOON. The snatcher is back after a 30 year break and is now after the kids of the of the Hellsfire club which includes Jupe. Cady and Lon have to follow the trail and catch him before he snatches more kids. I have loved Cady from the beginning. She has a great personality and she is so fun to get to know and follow. I think Cady and Lon fit together perfectly and I absolutely LOVE Jupe. Jupe plays a big role in SUMMONING THE NIGHT and he was fantastic to get to know and I could not imagine him not being involved. I was really mad about how things turned out with Dare I really hope Cady kicks his ass very soon. I'm not totally sure if Lon knows about all that went down, I kept waiting for his reaction and never got it so I'm assuming no??!!??!! I hope Lon kicks his ass as well. Just someone do it. BINDING THE SHADOWS book 3 will definitely be interesting. I thought that SUMMONING THE NIGHT was a bit slower then book 1 but Jenn has brought us a fantastic world, great characters and engaging storyline that make the Arcadia Bell series a must read in my book. I gave it 4/5 stars
